I don't believe you can. I have thrown my container away but if I remember right, it is not to be used in toilets and or septic systems.

Suggest calling the manufacture to see if it's safe to use with a septic system.

I have done it both ways- with hose and just flushing the toilet. I guess it just depends how much you drop into it and how many times you flush. We have 3 dogs. 1 45lbs, 1 about 16lbs, and one about 8lbs. I usually flush after about a half shovel full of waste and haven't had any problems so far with the toilet backing up. I should add that we are on sewer- not septic

Your not treating your toilets... It's for your septic tank. You get it to your septic tank by flushing it through a toilet.

Pumping your septic system on a regular basis is the best way maintain your septic system. I don't believe baker's yeast or any additives are useful for maintaining a healthy septic system. You're making a statement that I don't believe is true. Baker's yeast is one type of bacteria, and there are all types of bacteria already in there and you're constantly feeding the septic system with more and more bacteria every day. That said, it isn't going to hurt for you to put some yeast into your septic system. As one website I saw said, "It's like adding a teaspoon of salt into the ocean to make it taste saltier." But give it a try. It might make for an new and interesting kind of sour dough starter. ;-)

Hi - everything I can read online says it is safe for septic tanks. You might want to contact the manufacturer to confirm however.

I don't know, as I had installed at a country home with a septic and that was not an option. However, my son who is my contractor and installer, he should be able to tell me so I will ask and get back to you.

I would have to agree with G. Mast. This pump is strictly a sump pump for pumping relatively clean water and not a sewage pump. Would health dept laws where you live allow you to pump out a septic tank? Where I live, you have to have a licensed company come out and vacuum out a septic tank. They then go to a sewer system manhole and dump the tank into the sewer system.

I just read John Moore's answer and that actually might be the best way, at least if your cleanout is upstream of the blockage. Pour the stuff in dry and let the next flush expand the product, and carry it toward the blockage. Just guessing here.

Stain Solver is TOTALLY safe to use in septic systems. It actually enhances the biologic activity of the beneficial bacteria in tanks to help break down solids.

we could not use this because our roots are in the pipe line not our septic tank. Sorry we cannot help you.

it appears this is an enzyme that reduces to an inert component so I would venture to say it is septic safe.I've used this on many different materials to include carpets for pet stains, on upholstery in my cars, ponchos and tents that were stowed when still damp, life vests and the list goes on. the directions state to a apply to an inconspicuous area to test. the product works my getting item wet then letting it air dry. I've hand washed clothes then line dried with no I'll effects. And the bonus is it takes so little,like an oz?, to treat 50 gal. I mix about 1/2 oz into 1gal sprayer to use around the house. I wear vibram 5 finger shoes w/o socks and spray those weekly to eliminate the funk that can occur. I can't praise this product enough.

Mesia Sue is right. The Septic Waist Removal Technician recommended the same thing. Destruction on the bottle says the same thing. Safe to put down all drains.

That's what I specify it for. The control box must be out of the weather but should not be in a septic pump chamber. The caustic gases will destroy the circuit board.
